Coverage of Albanese’s work ethic often portrays him as a dedicated patriot who embodies the ideal of hard work. The media highlights his appearances at events like the EKA (an annual agricultural exposition in Brisbane) and footage of him working tirelessly, which reinforce his image as a leader who is always on the clock.
